Perched on a cliff top just to the east of Casamiccola (less than 1mile walk), this small, boutique hotel has a great deal to love.
From the cute garden entrance to the magnificent view, the historical tile throughout, the whole hotel is a visual delight.
If there is anything better than the view, it is the delightful staff who were super friendly. Breakfast maitre'd greeted us with a smile every morning and she made sure we had all the food and coffee we needed. The desk team lead by Stefani was uniformly helpful and offered advice, recommendations and scheduled many a taxi for us. They even arranged for quick turn on some laundry the day before our departure. The bar manager (Aldo) was a fabulous host, arranging not just drinks, but lovely appetizers to go with them.
Good team at the beach where there is plenty for everyone. If you want dining, there is a lovely over water patio. If you want some sandy beach, there is a small bit of that. But through creative use of rocks and grottoes, there are places to relax (even a hammock), snorkel and swim. Sea Kayaks for the adventurous. From the smallest child to the older crowd, there was something at the beach. For me, sitting on the jetty with a cold drink (they make a very nice Hugo) and watching all the boats go back and forth was a relaxing and delightful way to relax.
Be aware, the beach requires quite a few steps to reach, so might be a bit of a challenge for those with bad knees.
two thumbs up.
